Chocolate box!
Jan. 7th, 2020 03:21 pmDear Chocolatier,
Thanks so much for writing for me! Apologies for not having this ready earlier. I really look forward to seeing what you write and if you’ve started something already just go with it.
In general, I like humour, excitement, angst (if justified – not massive amounts of agonising over things that don’t warrant it), food, moments of peace amongst activity, things that give me new thoughts about canon, and things that bring me back to feeling like I’m experiencing the canon again for the first time.
I have requested art or fic for the first two fandoms; artwise, I like a range of styles, from cartoon/chibi to black & white to photorealism. I tend to like art that focuses on the quieter moments in canon and gives characters a breathing space between dramatic events; I’m happy with explicit art (as long as it’s tagged!).
DNWs: child/animal death or sexual abuse. A/B/O or trans headcanons. Non con. I have previously DNW’d earthquakes but am back to being okay with natural disasters.

Cloud Strife & Zack Fair
Zack Fair/Cloud Strife
Zack Fair/Sephiroth/Cloud Strife
Or, Zack and Cloud, plus or minus Sephiroth. I love Cloud, and I'd love to see him happy (despite all his own attempts to ensure the opposite!), and, well, obviously it would help if Zack were around; I'm very fond of him as well as a character. Despite everything, Sephiroth won me over in the game itself, and I do wish things had gone differently for him. I'm not looking for anything darker than the source material, although that still gives you a fair way to go! Ideas - well, pre-game bonding, either in the military (I really like pregame military training fics) or out socialising? En route to Nibelheim? Quiet moments in Midgar? I am exceptionally fond of the chocobos and would love anything to do with them - learning to ride? Hatching baby chocobos? Racing at the Golden Saucer? I am also happy with explicit PWPs although prefer that these not feature chocobos.
I do love incorporation of the game elements (phoenix downs, materia, random characters called Biggs or Cid). Given events of canon I am more than happy with canon AU or other AUs, and this is the only canon where I would be thrilled by a mundane AU (coffee shop, university, souless white collar jobs, especially if in addition everyone is inexplicably soulbonded to chocobos) because I'd love it if you could give them a happy(ish) ending and it’s hard to do with canon.

Chang Wufei/Duo Maxwell/Heero Yuy
Basically I love this series and its completely incomprehensible approach to space warfare, and I am especially fond of Wufei for his grumpiness and actual competence (I am less keen on his misogyny and would prefer to see this not being a major feature). I love Heero for his completely insane approach to waging war by repeatedly attempting suicide, and yet managing, somehow, to reach out to people as well, and I love Duo for managing to pull off a tragic past and a challenging hairstyle and still be more than capable despite himself. I think they would be wonderful (if just a tiny bit dysfunctional) together I would prefer to keep to canon but canon AUs are fine; I love space battles, space colonies, people repairing their Gundams, and am also fond of the total fanfic cliche of hiding out in a safehouse. Especially if it's in space. Did I mention the space bit?
Original Work
Kid Who Saved Fantasyland & Their Family They’re Trying to Convince To Move There
I am dipping my toe into the original work requests! This one addresses so many issues I had with portal fantasies as a child - why not tell people? why always end up going back to reality? why not the whole family? - and I would love to see what you do with it. It does not have to be based on any real fantasy world (injokes and allusions fine) and I don’t have any particular preference for characters - but what I do want to see is that juxtaposition of normal family dynamics and the fantastic, and how you go back to being part of a family after saving another world.
Thanks very much and enjoy creating!
